An African song of greeting, Nanuma is a canon with percussion. Canons are one of the best ways to introduce harmony to emerging singers and this song will not disappoint - it is great fun!.
Nanuma is in canon form. Not only is the canon sung, but it incorporates body percussion as well. For a fun extension activity, perform a body canon with your students. Body canons can help strengthen your students' ability to sing canons/rounds better by giving them something visual/physical to hold onto. Perform a simple, one-measure rhythm in 4/4 time, using body percussion or movement. Have students echo you, AND while they are echoing, they must watch as you perform different one-measure body percussion rhythms or movements. Try to vary the types of body percussion/movements so it will be easier for students to follow you. Some examples: Claps Stomps Chest pats Snaps Shoulder taps Flashy fingers (silent) Lip pops Pronunciation Guide Nah-NOO-mah WAH-ee-eh.
